Even if they're not making a huge profit on this camera's apparent popularity, they are putting people on the Pentax track. Many of them will buy lenses. That will make them likely repeat customers. Lens investment is a great thing if you're selling cameras. It's one way to ensure owner loyalty. Wish we had a trick like that in the car business.
